This new poll about Ohio's 2018 election should worry Deplorables, i.e. Republicans

COLUMBUS - Even in a strong year for Democrats, Republicans assumed they could count on the Ohio governor's race.

Maybe not.

A new Enquirer / Suffolk University poll – the first statewide, independent poll since the Ohio primary – showed Democrat Richard Cordray leading Republican Mike DeWine in the governor's race, 43 percent to 36 percent among likely voters.

The result is a surprise. DeWine is well-known and is considered, as political analyst Kyle Kondik of Sabato's Crystal Ball put it, a "soft favorite." So, some caveats:

Nearly 16 percent hadn't made up their minds. (The rest planned to vote for an alternative candidate.)
Among undecided voters, Republicans outnumbered Democrats nearly 2-to-1.
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

iirc, if a person doesn't vote in this election, they are sent a letter asking to confirm address. If they do not respond, they are dropped from the rolls.

Clock is ticking however. We need to take control of govt. and fix this crap.
